Welcome to the Applied Bioinformatics Laboratory at KU

The Applied Bioinformatics Lab (ABL) is a specialized service lab providing informatics supports for faculty, staff, post-docs, and graduate students in their research projects. Currently the ABL staff can assist researchers for the following tasks: consultation on experimental design involving data acquisition, management and analysis; data analysis and datamining of proteomics, small molecules, and genomics using statistical and machine learning approaches; developing relational databases and software applications; structure prediction, function annotation/prediction, sequence and domain analysis of proteins; phylogenetic analysis; etc. Services are provided in the form of consultation or collaboration. We also provide training in software programming and data analysis in the forms of workshops and one-to-one sections.
Free Weekly Bioinformatics Walk-in Hour
2 pm - 3 pm, Wednesday
Room 114, Structural Biology Center, west campus
It is on a first-come-first-serve basis and so no appointment is required. The walk-in hour was designed as a resource for researchers who only need informal input or help on simple questions. Faculty, staff, fellows and students are all welcome to stop by. You can certainly make an appointment with us for other time.

Pricing and Grant policy
We rely on service fees to recoup operating expenses, purchase and maintain hardware/software. Typically, funding support is required via hourly rates, or arranged as a percent effort of sponsored research. However, The initial consulting session (~ of up to one hour) is available at no charge for a new project.
Authorship policy
Co-authorship on scientific articles is generally expected on studies where substantive input on experimental design and data analysis is provided. It is our policy not to forego funding in return for co-authorship.
